Creative bags by Kathleen Dustin
Widely recognized as one of the world’s leading polymer clay artists, Kathleen Dustin is a pioneer, and an educator. Fashionistas appreciate her exquisite evening bags for their emotional images of women, translucent depth of surface, and vibrant colors. Meanwhile, her most recent purses and jewelry art pieces pay attention to the natural forms she finds in the woods of New Hampshire. Kathleen Dustin began working with polymer clay in the early 1980s, in addition developing many of her own techniques. According to her, it was a material with no history as a fine art or fine craft medium.
Dustin is a member and juror of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, the oldest professional craft organization in the United States, and has repeatedly worked as a juror for numerous national shows.
